• Check that you have a spare ink cartridge if you are low on ink
and need to run a large number of mail pieces. See
Section 11 -
Supplies and Options
for ordering additional ink cartridges.
• If you plan t
o apply postage on large or thick pieces and parcels
that can't be run through the machine, use the optional tape
sheets
. See

for part numbers of
tape sheets. Insert the tape sheets in the machine just like a normal
mail piece.
Apply the tape sheet on the mail piece or parcel in the
upper right-hand corner.

If your
mailstation™
meter has been set up with a lock code and
requires a password (see
Section 6 - Machine Settings
for more
information), you are prompted to enter one.
If you have purchased and turned on the optional accounting feature
(see
Section 9 - Departmental Accounting
for more information),
an account must be selected before you can print postage. This
ensures that all postage printed is accounted for by one of the
meter accounts. In addition, if a password has been assigned to the
account, you must enter the 4-digit password before proceeding.
NOTE: See
Appendix A - Passwords and Meter Functions,
for
information on the effects on meter functions when gaining access
to the meter by entering the lock code password versus the
accounting password.
